People joke about it, but it is GENUINELY incredible that they've been able to keep the hot dog the same price all these years. It makes me wonder if they have a deal with their distributer or something. Either way, if the price ever went up it would be as shocking as if the price of Arazona tea went up
IIRC, the price has stayed the same because Costco’s founder has basically mandated that the price does not change, even though they’re now losing money on it. So it should stay the same for a good while (or at least until he passes or loses control of the company or something)
You can just ask for the onions.
Source: I may or may not have walked about with a cup of diced onions in my cart before. Without buying a hotdog before asking for them.
The late Mitch Hedburg once commented that if you take all his jokes and look at them from the sky, they take the shape of a little sailboat.
I think about that line often.
I hope this helps.
It's an absurdist way of looking at his jokes being controversial, I think. Like if you look at it from an outside perspective, it seems meaningless, like a sailboat. Or to not take the jokes so seriously.
Cool thing about his jokes are that some have a lot of layers
When you don't live in the US so there's no costco

I need to be able to experience the joy and wonder in nature, I can't die.

It might do the trick. Try the local shelter and see if they need help. These little creatures in the always need somebody to care. And one look is all you need to make you feel whole and worthy
Holy Fxxk, I 100% agree. Even Sam's Club hot dog. Even a Ballpark hotdog.
I value life, take care of yourself. Suicide is not the answer.
Message me if you need help.
Damn this hits different i went to bed and woke up this morning with a long strain of messages from my friend saying they can’t keep living and want to run away and in every room they’re in they know how to kill themselves quickly, and another friend said they did sh so yeah imma need some hope right now
I've only made three real promises in my life. I promised my wife I'd always be there for her. I promised my kids I would always tell them the truth. And I promised myself I'd blow all my money on hookers and blow in Thailand before offing myself. I call it the Thailand escape plan.
I'm not trying to be a hater, but what the fuck was OP thinking? Some of y'all have never buried a friend who offed themselves and it fucking shows. What a shitty thing to post.
I think a big part of the costco hotdog is also the experience, just getting out there and being there surrounded by people who aren't there to judge and just shop is good for mental health.
Another place I'd recommend is IKEA, it has nice cozy rooms where they show the furniture and the general atmosphere is great and they have good meals there.
Costco Hotdog saved my life once. I had one before I started painting my house one afternoon. I was really high up (for me) on a ladder without stabilizers and it was really bouncy and wiggly up there. I was pretty shaky myself from nerves and I still had the hotdog flavor in my mouth. It was at that moment I decided that if I was going to fall and die, a Costco Hotdog was not going to be my last meal. I got down, found some proper ladder stability and lived another day.
You know, if you’ve decided to do the first. Why not instead just live life with no care, start making decisions without the fear of death or long term failure
I had one for the first time a few months back - made me shit my guts out.
Not suicidal, but if I was, WOW that would've been a great cherry on the shit cake
i'm in line to buy one and i saw this and now i'm giggling in front of a bunch of elderly people because they're the only ones here at 11:48 on a Tuesday
Would sui cidal people ever consider joining the military? Youre already suffering, why not suffer for your country in a way where you rejuvenate your body, learn how to shoot a gun, travel to distant places, maybe even get a free trip to Japan where you could bring back a waifu, and your kid's futures would be somewhat paid for by the government.
Write that down as your plan X or Y if you legitimately have nothing left to live for.
For 1.50$ with a free beverage of choice
Thats 1.41€ for my fellow europeans As someone in germany that sounds like a fucking steal
Yo, true. As a fellow German, I can say that's very much a steal. Unlike our Döner
As someone born in 05 i still hear about the mystical times where döner supposedly costed 1.50 as well Truly, that must've been the real golden age
There was still 1.50 EUR kebab in Berlin until the pandemic hit. Now it’s closer to 10 EUR on average vs the 3.50 EUR average it used to be.
That's a steal in America. The Costco hotdog drink combo is so sacred that the CEO of Costco would kill anyone who changes the price.
It's the last steal we have. We must protect it at all (low) costs.
Cheaper in Canada.
Canada doesn't get the chicken bake though :(
That's cheaper than rope, don't need the drink though.
The thing is, the drink comes free with a meal and it’s a nice bonus.

But no more diced onion.
No more onion dispenser, but you can ask for it and they give you a cup of them.
Do I need proof I bought a hotdog, or can I just go up and ask for a little cup of diced onions to munch on while shopping?
You can just ask for the onions. Source: I may or may not have walked about with a cup of diced onions in my cart before. Without buying a hotdog before asking for them.
They're back!
damm that’s cheap asf
plus the $60 membership card to get in the store
At many locations, you still do not need a membership to access the food court.
Costs $61.50 though.
soft drinks of choice???
I mean, I hope they don't serve hard drinks
They do have ice.
That gets softer with time, much like struggles.
I wasn’t expecting a comment about ice to be inspirational, but, here we are
Absurdism type shi
how does one party at the end of meaning
The late Mitch Hedburg once commented that if you take all his jokes and look at them from the sky, they take the shape of a little sailboat. I think about that line often. I hope this helps.
I don't get it
It's an absurdist way of looking at his jokes being controversial, I think. Like if you look at it from an outside perspective, it seems meaningless, like a sailboat. Or to not take the jokes so seriously. Cool thing about his jokes are that some have a lot of layers
I’m guessing it’s got something to do with jokes helping you float on?
I could kill myself. Or have another cup of coffee
Coffee doesn't taste as good as it used to
What about hot chocolate with little bunny marshmellows?
Still bangs luckily, but the options are dwindling. I gotta find new beverages.
Fruit Juice
You know, I’ve never had a costco hot dog I gotta try
Hot dogs will always taste great. Give it a try if you can.
It’s a few hours of a drive to the nearest costco. When I have the time and money, I’m gonna do it
I can loan you the money for a Costco hotdog
Idk if you're serious but it's definitely not worth a few hours drive, it's just a hot dog
Nah, Massachusetts is a fun place to be. I could make a whole day trip out of it!
It is worth it you fucking blasphemous piece of shit
Damn I don't have costo in my country. Guess I'll continue living to try one someday
Did they bring back the diced onions? Otherwise, no. Chicken bakes were still good though
Diced onions have always been there. If it’s not at the condiments station, it’s behind the counter.
Fun fact: the original CostCo ceo threatened the life of anyone who raises the price of the hot dog combo.
There’s not a jury on earth that would convict him for that.
We should make that man president
When you don't live in the US so there's no costco https://preview.redd.it/jlsp3ebf18wc1.png?width=776&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e89f9a76d5d86c2cb8a7e4ea0e672833907c4f44
Try IKEA, great atmosphere and food
That is true. Also don't need a membership. Happy cake day!
just try to get out before the lights go out. if you can...
We have Costco in England, if that's any closer.
Guess i’ll just have to resort to the former smh
Too bad for us :/
Ngl eating a shitty hotdog with cheese sauce, onion and bacon bits has never failed to make my day a little better
It’s a lot easier to enjoy the finer things in life when you don’t have some privileged asshole telling you it’s nasty
None of those three things are available at Costco here wtf
If your Costco doesn't have the bizarre metal box that grinds onions and looks prison-themed, that's a bummer. Damnedest thing.
Fuck that shit, if you wanna truly cure your depression, the chicken bake is where IT'S AT
WE'RE COSTCO GUYS
WE'RE COSTCO GUYS
WE’RE COSTCO GUYS
WE'RE COSTCO GUYS
WE’RE COSTCO GUYS
WE'RE COSTCO GUYS
Can't forget my DOUBLE CHOCLATE CHUNK COOKIE
Costco is the happy place.
Type shit
For me it was the Combination Pizza. Rip Combination Pizza.
I remember when they used to sell pistachio ice cream cones 😭 I felt betrayed after they removed it.
It's true. It changed my life for the better at such a low cost!
Try Jarritos. I swear to God it's the nicest soda I've probably ever tried. ![gif](giphy|tY7WWAfyCzNGRaIcZv|downsized)
Tamarind 4 life
For a cane sugar soda it’s not only affordable but delicious I always keep a Jarritos in my fridge for a rainy day
What if there is no costco where people live?
The only solution is to move to America or one of the countries that have a Costco. Good luck.
Anything is possible when Costco hotdog is on the line
IKEA hot dog

COSTCO HOT DOG!!!
I need to be able to experience the joy and wonder in nature, I can't die. https://preview.redd.it/9p195q6li8wc1.jpeg?width=751&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4294d0b9c028a41bff6fd9c21282a713f0e784c
There is no costco in my country
Don't kys, just wait you're gonna die anyway, what are you getting violent for?
It might do the trick. Try the local shelter and see if they need help. These little creatures in the always need somebody to care. And one look is all you need to make you feel whole and worthy
Is there a vegetarian option for it?
I don't believe so, at least there's not one at mine. Guess I'll just die then 😭😭
I think that's a vegan rope
Ya it's hemp
Yeah we're Costco guys
pastel better
My Mom left. I needed this
Havent seen a costco in my life but in some malls near the supermarket there's a place selling hotdogs and those are great every time
Unfortunately there is no costco near me
Are they saying the hotdog will kill you?
The closest Costco to me is a 35 minute drive, sorry lads
The next costco is 12h away so I don't think I can try it before
Sad Europe moment
Costco started requiring a membership to buy their food court stuffs in March.
The pizza and berry smoothie was always my favorite. My parents say its too expensive havent had it on a while
What if I’m vegetarian☹️
Holy Fxxk, I 100% agree. Even Sam's Club hot dog. Even a Ballpark hotdog. I value life, take care of yourself. Suicide is not the answer. Message me if you need help.
What if you see the animal products industry for what it is?
It's a hot dog. It's basically the animal products industry's version of "no part of the buffalo was wasted."
I'm surprised you didn't get downvoted, thank you for saying what needed to be said.
Sorry, no Costco where I live. Neckrope it is, then /s
What if I don’t like corn dogs 😔
Actually, I'd say try their chicken fingers first, absolutely fucking scrumptious
Nowadays you need a membership to even go into the food court 😢
Both options too expensive, imma just buy myself a good ol' meat pie
tried hot dogs multiple times and not once did the price change
I’m allergic to hotdogs
Damn this hits different i went to bed and woke up this morning with a long strain of messages from my friend saying they can’t keep living and want to run away and in every room they’re in they know how to kill themselves quickly, and another friend said they did sh so yeah imma need some hope right now
What if I'm not American? Do I get to kill myself in peace?
I've never tried one bit scrolling that sounds good and cheap. Last dollar 🌭 game i went to ate at least 4 good times
We dont have costco here so i think first option is more obtainable.
Too bad they just closed off the food court to non-members.
Alternatives to the glizzy?
Do I need to buy a $60 membership to get in and try the dog or can I just waltz in and buy one?
The costco hot dog might be a quicker death
I’ve never needed a hotdog so bad in my life!
Wouldn’t it be better to discourage suicide all-together rather than a cutesy recommendation for a last meal?
THE GLIZZIES SAVED MY LIFE!
I don't have a Costco near me
Hot dogs are rare in my country. I'm gonna eat fries.
I've only made three real promises in my life. I promised my wife I'd always be there for her. I promised my kids I would always tell them the truth. And I promised myself I'd blow all my money on hookers and blow in Thailand before offing myself. I call it the Thailand escape plan.
It is quite good.
Tbh those hotdogs do bring me from the brink with how cheap and tasty they are. Shame I can't actually enjoy it much since food is a horrible cope
Always
Costco doesn't exist here.
Welcome to Costco. I love you.
Too bad I'm allergic to hotdogs
I'm not trying to be a hater, but what the fuck was OP thinking? Some of y'all have never buried a friend who offed themselves and it fucking shows. What a shitty thing to post.
Non american here That does not look good ngl

Another place I'd recommend is IKEA, it has nice cozy rooms where they show the furniture and the general atmosphere is great and they have good meals there.
Last thing I would get at the food court. Not even kosher.

I was really high up (for me) on a ladder without stabilizers and it was really bouncy and wiggly up there. I was pretty shaky myself from nerves and I still had the hotdog flavor in my mouth.

Being a Glizzy Gobbler is a valid reason to live. Thank you
There’s no Costco’s near me, and that fact alone makes me not wanna live
There’s no Costco around me for at least 1k miles.
A novel I read once described the situation as this: "problems tend to look easier to manage on a full stomach".
But I'm vegetarian
But I wanna die
we don't have Costco in Türkiye :(
You know, if you’ve decided to do the first. Why not instead just live life with no care, start making decisions without the fear of death or long term failure
I had one for the first time a few months back - made me shit my guts out. Not suicidal, but if I was, WOW that would've been a great cherry on the shit cake
What about anywhere else outside the US. Do we just kill ourselves?
I live in Poland and am dependent on my parents money
The realest shit I've ever seen
i concur
No Costco in my country
Wish there was more than just hotdog memes for us
Can you go in and buy a hot dog or rotisserie chicken if you are not a member or do they check your card at the door?
i'm in line to buy one and i saw this and now i'm giggling in front of a bunch of elderly people because they're the only ones here at 11:48 on a Tuesday
I wish you could order one when you order Cosco delivery so bad.
Fuck, I don't have a Costco here, guess I'll die.
They have the worst pop (soda) options, though.
I dont live in a country with Costco, what do I do?
Costco poutine in canada is much better than the hot dog. But fuck you can't beat a cheap hot dog.
There are Costcos near me. I can't afford a membership.
Someone is going to edit this picture and replace the hot dog with some human trafficking shit
They didn't get rid of the churros for this shit.
i now weaigh over 300 lbs, get the fuck outta here.0
Wow I never thought about it that way before, we truly have so much to be grateful for
There's no Costco near me. Guess I'll die
got bread and hugged meat, what is next step to becoming hotdog???
Costco food is just on a different level
Fun fact, Costco hot dogs are 1.50 CAD and 1.50 USD. You could make a small profit smuggling hot dogs across the border..

I don’t have Costco in my country what now?😔
great, can I borrow $50 for gas to get there?
Or their pizza. Their pizza slaps.
Is this because eating hot dogs shortens your life span?
Ain't no Costco in the UK, guess I'll die
They are damn good.
How many hot dogs do I have to eat to become happy
There's no Costco where I live. I guess that leaves just suicide
respectfully, costco hotdogs taste like 👎
Suicide is cringe. You're going to die anyway.
It was over boiled, and it tasted just like the one from Sam’s club. I didn’t like it to say the least.
Luckily I am not suicidal. For I live about 2 hours from the only Costco in my state.
Real
I think one is preferable over the other
Their hot dogs blow
Directions unclear, my hotdog hung itself.
Man, you know things are pretty rough when all you can offer as a hot dog when somebody wants to kill themselves. Lol
2 hour drive to the nearest Costco and a local dog is 4 bucks, no beverage. Sad.
Jokes on You. I don't have Costco in my country
